Storyline
Aayudham (English: Weapon) is a 2005 Tamil action film directed by Murugesh. It features Prashanth and Sneha in the lead roles, while Subbaraju and Vadivelu amongst others played supporting roles. Featuring music composed by Dhina, the film released in January 2005 to average reviews from film critics.
The film opened to mixed reviews in January 2005 alongside three other Tamil films. Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu noted that "it's all very fine if you are not looking for anything innovative in the entertainment offered", adding that "Prashanth is too experienced an actor to goof up the role. He plays Siva with ease. And as always he is more at home in action" and that "Sneha makes proper use of the couple of scenes that offer her a little scope to perform."Sify.com noted that film was "below average" and added "The film looks like a poor man’s Ghilli and the story is as old as the hills with no semblance of either style or substance."
The film performed poorly at the box office. The film's release was hampered by the Boxing Day Tsunami which also hit Chennai.
